Introduction

Although you’ve been able to sync your Google Calendar with your iPhone for some time using ActiveSync, there is a limitation whereby you can only add a single ActiveSync account at one time. This isn’t a problem for most people, but if you happen to use ActiveSync for your work email, then it becomes a bit of an issue.

For “Server” you need to put “https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/YOUREMAIL@DOMAIN.COM/user” (obviously replacing the YOUREMAIL@DOMAIN.COM!)

“Username” and “Password” are your normal Google account details and “Description” is whatever you want it to be.

Press Next, you will see an error stating that the CalDAV account could not be verified, but this doesn’t appear to actually be a problem.

All done!

Now you should see your Google calendar in the Calendar app on the iPhone, and you should see it as an option when creating a new appointment. If you go back into “Settings”, “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” you can also set the Google calendar to be your default.

Hello there! My name is Steven Robbins, and this is my allegedly technical blog. These days I generally work in C# and SQL, but in the past I’ve developed in everything from Assembly Language (68000 and x86) through to VB.Net/C#, with plenty of others inbetween. I’ve also done my time in the support/engineering side of IT, so I’m pretty much a geek through and through 🙂 I’m a firm believer that reading and “best practices” are no substitute for using your brain! more..
